There are a zillion great, old films for free on youtube. I wanted to bring them together on one blog for lovers of older films or people who want to learn about film history and see some of the best films ever. When I was younger there was a theater called the Parkway (in Chicago) that showed such films. It was torn down (so it goes). So this blog is kind of my own personal Parkway. djg51qu@gmail.com I will post new films each Saturday.

Swept Away by Lina Wertmueller 1974
This was, actually, the first film I ever saw at the Parkway Theater (many years after it was made).
This version is dubbed in English - and the dubbing looks and sounds a little strange.
Madonna, of course, did a remake of this film (I never saw it).
In this film a wealthy woman and her servant get stranded on a desert island and this changes the 'power dynamic' between them. Wertmueller directed some good films.
